Remarkable luxury 3 level 3751 square foot penthouse condominium, set atop one of North America's best known spa resorts-the Peaks in Telluride. The owner purchased two penthouse units, #9 and #21 and hired a well known architect out of Sante Fe to create a home that is a contemporary work of art in the midst of the more generic stone and log units you often find in this famous ski resort. He then furnished it to match this vision. All of the furnishings, including all of the artwork is included in the purchase. The instant you enter this 8th floor unit you know you're somewhere extremely special. The great room has soaring ceilings, beautiful seating areas and gas fireplaces on each end. Large balconies extend from the living area through floor to ceiling windows to take in outstanding views of St. Sophia, the Mountain Village and the ski slopes. The roomy gourmet kitchen is located on this level, and though the entire area is blessed with an amazing array of outstanding restaurants, the meals to be enjoyed here will outdo the views of almost any other locale! From the great room beautifully crafted stairs lead down to the lower level to two of the nicely sized and decorated guest bedrooms. Each have their own luxurious bathrooms with soaking tubs and walk in showers. These rooms have balconies overlooking the mountain too, so guests have the luxury, privacy and views to make them feel entirely welcome. Once you've returned to the great room level, a captivating 'art hall' leads you down into another guest room with its own private bathroom with walk in shower. Beyond this room you'll enter the Master's Quarters. This is marked by a large opaque pivoting door, which can entirely close off the section beyond for privacy. At the main level there is a private office/sitting area, which allows you to work and relax as you enjoy the views while being in your own quiet space away from the areas where people will tend to gather. Just beyond this room you'll find beautifully contoured steps, which can easily be described as 'A Stairway to Heaven'. They lead to the master bedroom suite, which is generously sized, has its own balcony overlooking the mountains and a large sitting area with gas fireplace. The master bath is an intense treat, with oversized soaking tub, wonderful glass tiled steam shower and individual his and hers private dressing areas and commodes. A walkway leads to the mezzanine style balcony overlooking the great room, offering a unique vantage point to relax, read a book or catch up on your email. The Peaks is an internationally known favorite spot for excellent ski-in ski-out accommodations. The facilities are incredible, with spa and restaurant facilities, excellent concierge services, and an outdoor pool and hot tub year-round. You are right in the middle of Mountain Village, just a short walk from the Gondola, which not only brings you to different ski locations, but also delivers you at no cost to the downtown core of Telluride. Those who've visited Telluride know that the whole area is special. Whether its Ophir, Rico, Dolores and the Four Corners to the Southwest, the mountain towns of Ouray, Ridgway, and Silverton or the larger towns of Montrose and Grand Junction, it's all about great restaurants, shopping, jeeping, hiking, fishing, hunting, boating, ice climbing, biking, ATVing and hot spring soaking. Cultural events and festivals abound. So there's always lots to do-but it's especially nice to just relax and enjoying the views! 05056-12418
